Question
Can a child with a fever and cold eat bananas?
Answer
Bananas are cold fruits that have cooling properties and help with digestion. They can effectively improve bloating or constipation when consumed. However, it is important to note that bananas are not suitable for those with spleen deficiency or a cold constitution, as they may cause chills in the hands and feet. When a child has a cold with a fever, it is best to avoid giving them cold foods, so it’s advisable not to feed bananas to a baby after a fever. Moreover, since bananas promote bowel movements, they are even less suitable if the baby has diarrhea.
